JP 62-181346 discloses the preparation of (mercaptoorganyl)alkyl polyether silanes from (mercaptoorganyl)alkoxysilanes by transesterification with alkyl polyether alcohols.

Additionally known from EP 1529782 and EP 1538152 are processes for preparing (mercaptoorganyl)alkoxysilanes, wherein alkali metal sulfide or alkali metal hydrogensulfide is reacted with a mixture of (haloorganyl)alkoxysilane and (haloorganyl)halosilane in alcohol with exclusion of air.

JP 3091993, JP 2005-047846, JP 2004-099483 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,840,952 disclose processes for preparing mercaptopropylsilanes of the formula HS—(CH2)3—Si(R1)n(OR2)3-n by reacting halopropylsilanes of the formula Y—(CH2)3—Si(R1)n(OR2)3-n with alkali metal hydrogensulfide.

DE 102005032658.7 discloses a process for preparing mercaptosilanes, wherein silanes of the general formula
(R11)(R11)(R10)Si—R3—S—R4
are reacted in a catalyzed reaction with an alkoxylated alcohol R1—H with elimination of R7—OH, and R7—OH is removed from the reaction mixture.

DE 102005052233 discloses a process for preparing organosilanes of the general formula [R2(R′O)Si—R″-]nAm by reacting (haloorganyl)alkoxysilanes with water-containing sulfuration reagents.

Disadvantages of the known processes are the long reaction times and low conversions or low space-time yields with good selectivity.

It is an object of the invention to provide a process for preparing (mercaptoorganyl)alkyl polyether silanes, which enables short reaction times with high conversions or high space-time yields with good selectivity in the conversion of the starting materials.

The invention provides a process for preparing (mercaptoorganyl)alkyl polyether silanes, which is characterized in that a dry mercaptation reagent having a water content of less than 3% by weight is reacted with a (haloorganyl)alkyl polyether silane.

The reaction can be carried out with exclusion of air. The reaction can be carried out in a closed vessel.

The reaction can be carried out in a solvent or without solvent.

The 1H NMR analysis of the resulting product shows that 100% of the Cl functions have been converted to HS functions and 5.2% of them have been converted to further oxidation products with S2 functions.

The transesterification distribution on the silicon remains intact in the reaction and, according to NMR analyses, corresponds to that of the starting material Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si (O—C2H5)[(O—CH2—CH2)5—O—C13H27]2.

A Buechi glass autoclave is initially charged with 15.6 g of dried NaSH, and 200 g of Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O—C2H5)2[(O—CH2—CH2)5—O—C13H27] are added thereto with a pump. The suspension and the autoclave are purged with H2S for 15 min, and then the autoclave is closed. The suspension is stirred at 75° C. for 30 min and then at 110-120° C. for 300 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and transferred to a flask. 185.2 g of product are obtained, which corresponds to 92.9% of theory.

A Buechi glass autoclave is initially charged with 15.6 g of dried NaSH, and 257 g of Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O—C2H5)2[(O—CH2—CH2)10—O—C13H27] are added thereto with a pump. The suspension and the autoclave are purged with H2S for 15 min, and then the autoclave is closed. The suspension is stirred at 50° C. for 30 min and then at 110-120° C. for 300 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and transferred to a flask. 246.7 g of product are obtained, which corresponds to 96.2% of theory.

A Buechi glass autoclave is initially charged with 15.6 g of dried NaSH, and 350 g of Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O—C2H5)2[(O—CH2—CH2)18—O—C13H27] are added thereto with a pump. The suspension and the autoclave are purged with H2S for 15 min, and then the autoclave is closed. The suspension is stirred at 50° C. for 30 min and then at 110-120° C. for 300 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and transferred to a flask. 336.4 g of product are obtained, which corresponds to 96.3% of theory.

A Buechi glass autoclave is initially charged with 15.6 g of dried NaSH, and 101.5 g of Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O-Et)[(O—CH2—CH2)—O—C4H9]2 are added thereto with a pump. The suspension and the autoclave are purged with H2S for 15 min, and then the autoclave is closed. The suspension is stirred at 50° C. for 30 min and then at 110-120° C. for 300 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and transferred to a flask. 93.6 g of product are obtained, which corresponds to 92.8% of theory.

According to 1H NMR analyses, only 22% of all Cl-propyl functions have been converted to HS-propyl functions.

The transesterification distribution on the silicon is unchanged compared to the starting material Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O-Et)[(O—CH2—CH2)—O—C4H9]2 according to NMR analyses.

A Buechi glass autoclave is initially charged with 15.6 g of dried NaSH, and 110 g of Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O-Et)[(O—CH2—CH2)2—O—C2H5]2 are added thereto with a pump. The suspension and the autoclave are purged with H2S for 15 min and then the autoclave is closed. The suspension is stirred at 50° C. for 30 min and then at 110-120° C. for 300 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and transferred to a flask. 98 g of product are obtained, which corresponds to 90.8% of theory.

According to 1H NMR analyses, only 63% of all Cl-propyl functions have been converted to HS-propyl functions.

The transesterification distribution on the silicon is unchanged compared to the starting material Cl—CH2—CH2—CH2—Si(O-Et)[(O—CH2—CH2)2—O—C2H5]2 according to NMR analyses.
